 * Hello Follegot,
 * Sad but yes, the entire old directory will be deleted if you have included translation
   file inside plugin directory. The correct place to store translations is wp-content/
   languages/plugins/.
 * Highly recommended method is to help translate plugin from wordpress.org because
   it not only helps you use the plugin in your language, but it also helps other
   users automatically use the plugin in their language. [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/user-registration](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/user-registration)
 * Hope this helps!

 * Thanks for the trick,
 * I did provide many translations data, 805 are waiting for approval for French…
 * Merry Christmas.
